Whether you like ‘em or loathe ‘em, since October 2008 EPCs - Energy Performance Certificates - are now a legal requirement that you, as a Landlord, must provide evidence of on your residential rental properties. Fortunately, we can supply Landlords with EPCs in Leeds for just £60 + VAT but what are the legal facts about EPCs and how can we help you if you’re looking for fast EPCs in Leeds?

Contentious though they may be, EPCs for rental properties have been introduced by the Government in order to ensure that both you and your tenants are fully aware of your property’s Environmental Impact (CO2) rating and Energy Efficiency Rating. The idea being that you can use the information to make improvements to the property, thus helping reduce CO2 emissions and bills - making your property a more attractive rental proposition - and tenants can consider the EPC to determine how expensive the property may be to heat before they make their decision to rent. Landlords who fail to provide an EPC to new tenants can be fined £200, which can be re-issued until an EPC is in place.

You should ensure that your property/properties have EPCs in place before they are placed onto the rental market and you are legally required to make the EPC available to the prospective tenant(s) at the earliest opportunity. This is usually when information is first provided in writing about the property or when the prospective tenant views the property - either way the EPC MUST be provided BEFORE a contract to rent the property is completed. You do not need to provide EPCs to existing tenants who were renting the property before October 2008 or to tenants wishing to renew their current tenancy of the same property. Unlike EPCs within HIPs, EPCs for rental properties are valid for ten years so do not require re-newing each time you place the property onto the rental market.
